The only redeeming feature of this restaurant was listening to live music from Casuela's next door and watching them enjoy their food while I pretended to enjoy what was advertised as a lamb gyro.

My wife and I were in the mood for Greek food so we stopped here on a Monday night and were seated right away on the rear patio. It's a nice space, dimmed somewhat by the loud cover band at the Mexican place next door. Our waiter was prompt and helpful. They feature 25% off the menu prices before 6:00 and we arrived at 5:45. He let us know the discount applied to anything we ordered before 6:00. We wanted to order wine, but we weren't familiar with Retsina. He quickly offered to bring us a sample. I went with a glass of that while my wife chose red. We ordered the lamb shoulder, feta with olives, spanakopita and a trio of dips with pita. The lamb shoulder was tender and delicious. The feta with olives was also very good. The spanakopita was also good, but nothing special. The trio was nice, but not special. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the service. If you're in the mood for something different this place is worth a try

Very bad... so bad, we wish we went next door to the Mexican restaurant instead. No lattes/capps, no frappes, no tea... Dolma- 1 (not good, not even close to what dolma should taste like) spanakopita- 3.5 (best thing we ate here). Baba ghanoush (not as fresh or good as baba ghanoush should be). Lamb gyros- 1 (meat was terrible, to put it mildly. One bite was enough). Lamb plate- 1 Hortiki salad- 2 (measly- a quarter of a cucumber, half a tomato, lettuce, less than a quarter of red onion. Seriously.). Service was just as much a miss. For $120, we filled up on pita (not even fresh, good pita), red onions and tomatoes. Needless to say, we went to find wholesome food elsewhere immediately after.

Greek for day 2....came for lunch had one of their lunch box specials and was extremely happy with the taste and quality. First time I have had gyros which actually used roasted lamb versus the shaved type, and blown away by how the taste was compared to the typical Lebanese style gyros I have been eating all these years. Lunch special came with a side salad that great as well. Definitely worth a stop in ! Recommend !

Wow wow wow. The food here is delicious fresh and authentic. This is food you get in Greece, it's not Greek american. Ambience is great too, the terrace in the back feels authentic. Too bad we don't live here, this would be a weekly staple.

We love this place. It serves delicious Greek food. One speciality is the slow cooked lamb shoulder, which we always get - delicious! The hummus with pita and the octopus are also excellent. When we are in Palm Desert we always stop here.

Very authentic food, good service, and very nice people. If anything I'd like to see more Greek wines available on their menu, please. The ambiance was ok, but somewhat loud due to the bar music coupled with the crowd.

Everything is ala carte and expensive for what you receive. I had the octopus and it was not acceptable. The Greek wine was sold out and the server said they were understaffed. There are better alternatives.

I have eaten here with my family probably a dozen times, and it's consistently excellent. The food is delicious, and the waitstaff is friendly and diligent. We especially love the avgolemono soup, hummus, Greek salad, lamb chops, potatoes, and chicken kebab. But really, all of the food is great. It tastes authentic and homemade. We love it!
